sure you could, but why? Of all the 40k minis, those are on the
bottom of the list, along with the rest of the minis that come with
the boxed set. If you want more of those guys, you should be able
to trade/buy 'em for 5-25 cents each.

If you want extra weight, make a mold of the base. Much easier.

If you are going to pirate minis, do the cool looking ones ;-)

remember, don't melt lead without a fume hood to vent the vapors outside.
Lead is real easy to work with, but is bad for you :-(

RTV will not last long with molten lead. There are metal subsitutes that
have much lower temps, or use the hi-temp hard rubber molds
